Nottingham Forest reportedly want Bristol Rovers defender Tom Lockyer and Sam Byram.
Nottingham Forest fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that the club are looking at Tom Lockyer as an alternative to Sam Byram.
According to The Nottingham Post, Forest want to sign Byram from Premier League club West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
The report has also claimed that the Championship side are looking at Bristol Rovers defender Lockyer should Aitor Karanka’s side fail to secure the services of 24-year-old right-back Byram, who earns £30,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com, and cost West Ham £3.7 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Leeds United in January 2016, as reported by The Independent.
Lockyer has been on the books of Rovers his entire professional club football career so far, and can operate as a central defender or as a right-back.
Forest fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that the Reds are looking at 23-year-old Lockyer – they prefer Byram.
